Equipped with modular supervisor engines such as the Supervisor Engine 2T, the Catalyst 6500 can deliver up to 80 Gbps per slot and scale to multiple terabits of system capacity when configured with Virtual Switching System (VSS). These capabilities allow enterprises to consolidate large-scale traffic flows while maintaining resiliency and performance.

The Catalyst 6500 also integrates advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, including distributed Cisco Express Forwarding for optimized packet handling. Security modules and options such as VLAN segmentation, intrusion detection, and MACsec provide strong protection at the network core. Hot-swappable line cards, redundant supervisors, and multiple power supply options ensure high availability, even during upgrades or maintenance.

Used units are confirmed ready for production networks, ensuring reliable operation from day one. Inventory is kept in stock, orders ship quickly, and every purchase includes a 365-day warranty, delivering long-term confidence and value.
